I thought this was the BEST course I've ever done. The calibre of the content and educators was superb. The structure of the course was really well thought out and pace of the course was spot on. The progressive nature of scenario difficulty from day 1 - day 3 was ingenius for quickly up-skilling us without too much stress. Finally, the collegiality and friendliness of the faculty and constant reassurance 'this isn't a test' did wonders to reduce everyone's anxiety and in turn improve our performance. I can't speak more highly of this course and will leave a more confident clinician with many new skills and reflections upon how I practice within a team. _ RORY COUPLAND

Excellent course with highly engaging instructors. Their teaching from personal experience was captivating and helped reinforce concepts and approaches. The course was appropriately challenging while offering a supportive environment to learn in. Potentially the best run course I've been on, having done a few over the past couple years. The course will undoubtedly improve my care of trauma patients in the future out of sight. Thanks and great job! _ JAKE NORTH

Great 3 day course taught by enthusiastic and knowledgeable faculty. Lots of opportunity to practice team leading and procedures in a simulated (read: safe!) environment. Got to use my new found trauma team leading skills on my very next day back at work! Would definitely recommend!! _ ALISHA PANIR

I had high expectations of the ETM course and wasn't disappointed. The course manual is extensive and full of valuable material with great tips for clinical practice. The course facilitators create a friendly comfortable environment for learning where experienced professionals deliver high quality content without ego or intimidation. Very valuable as an emergency medicine registrar starting out, has made much much more comfortable with my approach to managing trauma. High complexity simulation allows you to really practice the skills you have learned on the course. Highly recommended to anyone managing trauma in the Emergency department. _ ANDREW SMITH

Awesome interactive hands-on course with great skills stations, group discussions, and small group sim sessions. If you want to improve your resus room communication, management of trauma or even just have a great weekend with enthusiastic instructors and participants this is the course to do. _ TRIA

I just completed ETM Melbourne. Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the instructors and organisers. It really is an excellent course in all respects and was a brilliant cohort of candidates too. It really exceeded my expectations (which were already pretty high!). I know this view is also shared by many of my ACRRM/ED colleagues. I look forward to crossing paths again.  _ Damian Heman

The BEST trauma course ever! Well structured, comprehensive, thorough and very informative. Andy and the group are awesome instructors, highly recommended. _ AHMED ABDELSALAM
